  1. Chain <\/strong>\u00a0Dispatch a second thunk from within the first thunk’s payloadCreator after the first API call succeeds. Good for linear dependencies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. RTK Query:<\/strong> Define endpoints using createApi. Use query hooks in components. The second query hook can use the skip option to wait until data from the first query (e.g., a user ID) is available. Often the cleanest approach for API data fetching.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Use createAsyncThunk chaining:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
